I need help with a laptop

where should i start....Windows update had to iinstall 165 updates, so i let it, then the next day, i reinstalled windows thimking it would fix the problem, it made another one, i looked at os:C and it said 25gb in use, i was like ok, let me delete windows.old,
i did that, it freed up like 2gb of it....so i took the hdd out, and reformatted it in a ntfs file system, it took like 7 hours (its a 500gb hdd) after that i get this error 0xc000000f.....im thinking when i reformatted it, it killed the master boot sector/record....when
it comes to this screen it says windows fail to start a recent hardware or software change might be the cause to fix the problem 1. insert your windows installation disc (which didnt work) since i cant even do that listing the other options are useless...
it also says the boot selection faild because a required device is inaccessible, its not booting right,
so i need help, i need to give this comp back in 2hr any help

I suggest you to try scanning the HDD for any errors using Seagate SeaTools from here (works with non-Seagate HDDs also):
http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/item/seatools-dos-master/
If there is no issue with the HDD, you can proceed with installation of Windows. If not, contact the PC manufacturer support or the HDD manufacturer support (if bought separetly) and ask for a replacement. If warranty is present, the replacement will be
made free of cost.

Need help with connecting laptop

Hi there,
I looked through the boards and found some messages that kind of fit to my problem, but not completely so here goes.
I have a gateway desktop(windows xp) connected to dsl (charter) and a laptop(gateway solo with windows xp) that I am trying to connect through a wireless router (Linksys wrt54g).
When I connect the wireless router to my laptop it says it is connected, but I cannot get a webpage to appear and once my router is connected I cannot use my desktop online.
I am sure there is just some configurations that need done, but I'm not that familiar with alot of the comuter lingo in order to figure this one out on my own. I mainly use the desktop, but I would like to configure the laptop so I can use it online when needed. Help and keep it simple please...
Another question...do I need to use the wireless router or can I somehow connect my laptop through my desktop or just through my dsl connection?
Thanks, Deanna

Connect the Modem to the Internet Port on the Router.
Then , Connect the Computer using a different
Ethernet Cable to Port 1 or Port 2 on the Router.
Now, Press the Reset Button on the rear panel of the Router
for 12 Seconds. Then, Release the Reset Button,
Unplug the Power Adapter to the Router. After 10 Seconds,
Unplug the Power Adapter to the Modem. Then Wait for
30 Seconds, Re-connect the Modem, and once the Lights are
up on the Modem, Re-connect the Linksys Router.
If yes, Open a new Internet Explorer
Page, and in the address bar, type http://192.168.1.1, press
return, And when asked for Username and Password,
Leave the Username blank and in the Password field,
type admin . This will help you access the Router's
Console.
In the Router's Setup Page, just below Setup Tab,
in the blue line, you could an option " MAC Address Clone "
Click on that, Enable it, Save the Settings
Below the Setup Tab of the Router's Console,
Change the MTU from "AUTO" to "MANUAL" , and
Set the Size to 1400, Save the Settings,
Powercycle the Modem and the Router.
Check the Connections.
If you are able to go Online when hard wired to the Router.
Then make your computer wireless and verify . . .

The Precision line is custom made for editing tasks
It is? (Don't think any of Tier 1 workstation systems are custom-made for editing, or they'd sport GeForce cards rather than Quadros, and offer an option not to install MS Office on them among other things. In fact, it they did, they'd made it easier to find their laptops that fit the above requirements, e.g. show me all the laptops supporting 32GB RAM, i7 CPUs, FHD resolutions. I tried... Which is one of the reasons ADK, Puget, Sager have an edge over Tier 1.)
I like M4700, especially that it's configurable with three internal drives, it's just harder to buy in a "ready-to-ship" configuration with the specs above. The OP wanted something that could be ordered and delivered quickly for under $2K, and this is where W530 came on top.
I speak from experience sir. So I can assure you my statement is valid. The Precision line caters to a group of professionals who tend to prefer the reliability and stability of Quadro. The M4700 is available at the aboue price.
Also, all Precisions can accommodate up to 32GB RAM and i7 CPU, as well as 10 bit Premiere Color monitor (on some models) and 3-4 internal drives. In this case, the only "edge" from others, is a step down.

Need help with HP laptop

Need help with my laptop's power supply

Hi! I have a Chinese power supply and I heard the Chinese voltage measurements can be different than North American voltage measurements. For example if an American measurement was 130V it would be a different number in China but be the same voltage. Is this true or a myth?
Here is all the power supply's information and picture:

Need help with duplicate print jobs over network that I can't cancel

I have the Photosmart Premium All-in-One on my home network. My kids who each have laptop running Windows 7 and are connected via wireless to the printer via a DLINK DIR-655.
They hit the print button too many times and it keeps printing over and over again.
Is there a way to get the printer to stop printing these duplicates. I tried turning off/on but they just keep printing.
We're wasting paper/ink and I need help with a solution.
Please let me know. Thanks.
Angelo

There should be a button with a red 'X' on it on the front of the printer. This is the print cancel button.

Need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook.......

need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook? removal of cmos, resetting laptop, using cccleaner, windows password recovery and hiren's was noneffective, any help is appreciated. thanks

Hi,
As your notebook is a business class machine, security is more stringent - the password is stored in non-volatile memory and there are no 'backdoor' passwords. Your best option would be to contact HP regarding this.

Need help with installation

I recently received a laptop from school to access my online classes. When I tried to use Adobe Reader I received the following message: Adobe Reader 9.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvenience. I tried tech support at school and was told to uninstall and reinstall the program. During the installation process I received the following error: Error 1321 The installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file C:/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 9.0/Reader/Onix32dll. I need this program for school. Can some one please help me.

Hello again, Michael,
Was unable to do the UAC changes. Buttons where not highlighted. I just went ahead and uninstalled Adobe and downloaded Foxitsoftware and it works. Thanks for all your help Michael you have made my online school experience better.
Sincerely,
Sherri Lee

Subject: Need help with installation
Hello again, Sherri:
It's my pleasure to provide assistance when I can :•) Having just recently graduated after 7 years of effort just to get a 2-year degree, I can relate to needing software to get class work accomplished. I will do everything I can to make it happen for you today.
Since you didn't mention, the UAC setting, I'd like you to disable it for me if it isn't already:
1. Open Control Panel
2. Under User Account and Family settings, click on the "Add or remove user account"
3. Click on any user account
4. Under the user account click on the "Go to the main User Account page" link.
5. Under "Make changes to your user account", click on the "Change security settings" link
6. In the "Turn on User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure" click to unselect the "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer". Click on the Ok button.
7. You will be prompted to reboot your computer - do so when ready
You may need to uninstall/reinstall Reader after the reboot in order for the problem to go away, but that part I am not certain of. Try to duplicate the issue prior to taking that step.
If you are unable to resolve issues with Adobe Reader, I recommend using a different reader that has much less bloat and is updated regularly:
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/
FoxIT is a FREE alternative to using Adobe's Reader. Support for free Adobe products is limited forums such as this. The same holds true for open source alternatives except the manufacturer usually helps support their forums while Adobe doesn't monitor this forum or any like it. I know how important it is for you to focus on your classes so don't beat your head against a wall just because Reader won't work when a viable solution exists.
Best of success in your pursuit of knowledge!
Michael

Need help with Outlook 2013 connecting to Exchange server(2010)

Hi
I need help with Outlook 2013 and with my exchange server(2010) email account
After setting up account initially emails come in and than after an hour or two stop. My OWA is working fine with no issues. I have even created a forward rule in OWA to my GMAIL account whch works fine
However Outlook 2013 is not syncing messages, have difficulty in sending emails sometimes as it takes too long. In fact the connection also is intermittent. Even if the task bar shows connected to exchange, it seems that is not the case since new emails
and any emails I compose dont work. I have trouble shot the issue with my ISP and email service provide, but they havent resolved the issue I have also done a TraceRoute and that shows no drops or problems to he exchange server.
Can someone please help me resolve this matter so I can continue to use Outlook 2013( running Windows 8.1) in both my computers which have the identical problem
Look forward to a solution soon
Thanks

Hi Angela
Thanks for your message
To answer your questions, please note the following
a) My account is set up in Cache Mode( not online mode)
b) I am the only other user on the account
c) When the connection to the exchange server is broken, I see upon clicking connection tab that there is no information in the box, and when I press reconnect it starts showing "connecting"
d) When the connection to the server is there, it shows connection as "established"
e) Sorry I dont understand th meaning of CAS array in your environment? Can you pls explain
Since yday I have been using Outlook 2010 on desktop and Outlook 2013 on my laptop using Exchange 2013 account. So far all emails are syncing, and I can send emails from both computers. However, I am concerned that the connection can break-off anytime,
as it has done that in the past on both outlook versions. The max time it has worked without any problem is 48 hrs and than after that the same issue of not connection, not syncing and unable to send emails happens
My ISP has checked and there is no network connectivity issues. My email service provider has trouble shot the issue many times, but to no positive results. I have also changed the profile a few times, but the intermittent connectivity problem hasn't
been resolved.
Can you identify the possible causes and more importantly a working permanent solution please
Thanks
Mahesh

Need help with new 8310

Just upgraded from earlier blackberry and have two problems I need help with!
First, in rearranging the icons my browser icon disappeared and I can't get it back even when I use the show all function. Any ideas?
Second, unlike my earlier blackberry, messages I sent from my office laptop are not appearing in my messages. What setting do I need to tweak? I like my blackberry to show all the messages sent from or received by the laptop.
Thanks.
Lauren

My BB setting was to not hide sent messages, but the problem I think has to do with the settings on syncing with my computer. Messages I send from the blackberry show up as sent - but I want the BB to match completely with the email on my computer - show every email received and every email sent. That was how the old BB was set up. Any ideas on what else to tweak either on the desktop or the BB? Thanks for your help.

Hello, I need help will my laptop and the error, the message says "no bootable device ", I have tried taking out the hard drive but it still doesn't work. My laptop is a Satillite C55D-A5372. I need help with this; if you know about this ans know how to fix it please reply or email me @ [email protected]
If needed more clarifications ask me.
Thank you,
Jkmano

if you got into the bios/uefi and have determined that the hdd is being detected then that is good. At least the hdd is operating to some extent, although still may be corrupt OS or the like.
Eagle asked you what OS your using (i.e., Windows 8.1 64-bit, Windows 7 32-bit, etc.). I see that English is not your native language so we'll just have to work with that as best we can.
Did you make any changes to the operating system (OS) as a result of the link you posted, and what were they?
L305-S5955, T9300 Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, 60GB SSD, Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit
